A Boeing 727 passenger jet has been sitting at a Vietnamese airport tarmac for the past six months and after a few months of investigating authorities can't locate the owner of it.
The aircraft flew several times after arriving at the airfield, transporting passengers from Siem Reap (Cambodia) to Hanoi and vice versa, but since then has been left idle at the airfield. Neither the crew nor owner can be found.Though the aircraft has a Cambodian flag on its fuselage, nobody has any information about an airline named Air Dream in Cambodia.
I'm sure someone can make a reference here to Lost. I can't because I've never seen a single episode of that show. I just know an airplane was involved in its "origin" story. You know what else? This 727 is "lost." In Vietnam. Which is where Lost is filmed. Actually it's filmed in Hawaii, I think. Which is closer to Vietnam than New York City.
